This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith
3.0
More akin to a 3.5.
Mental health and relationships are interesting topics and Leesa Cross-Smith tackled them in a unique way that felt human.
For me, though, This Close to Okay starts to collapse during its third act. The very personal built up of a relationship (platonic or otherwise) between the two main characters I really feel was betrayed by having it entangled in situations and characters not really explored earlier nor as interesting.
I much more enjoyed the complex nature of the first two thirds.
